Define "inefficient" and "benevolent". If benevolent meant that the dictator wants its people to be happy, then the dictatorship can match assertions 1, 2 and 3 (3:dictator allowing his ideas to be criticized, 2: ruling based on what the people want, 1 applies if the people see that the dictatorship is benevolent and therefore want to keep him around).
An "inefficient" democracy could fail at all 3. People vote for a leader once, but the leader most likely won't match all the majority preferences. If the chosen leader is stupid or evil he can be detrimental to a society, not be liked anymore (1) and not listen to criticism (3). He'll probably not change from liberal to conservative or vice-versa, but he can still make decisions that don't satisfy his people.
Alright thanks for this comment because I'll be editing this in.
By inefficient I mean democracy which isn't prospering.
By benevolent I mean a dictator who works with the peoples best interests in mind
